Stone Free: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix, released on Reprise in November 1993, is a various-artists salute to Hendrix, and P.M. Dawn's turn on "You Got Me Floatin'" is one of its boldest moves. Eddie Kramer produced the set, and the brief to the contributors was to pick a favourite and put their own stamp on it. The Jersey City hip-hop act, built around the brothers Prince Be and DJ Minutemix, took that to heart, turning the song into something radically unlike the original in their dreamy, soul-soaked style.
They're in varied company. Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Buddy Guy, Nigel Kennedy, the Cure, Belly, Spin Doctors and Pat Metheny all show up, and so does M.A.C.C., a one-off band of Chris Cornell, Matt Cameron, Mike McCready and Jeff Ament. Clapton's take on the title track was the last recording the three core members of Chic made together.
